Recycled wool dolls & animals week - Lassothemoon


Are you looking for the perfect low maintenance pet? Look no further! Etsy shop Lassothemoon's super adorable recycled wool hamsters, bunnies, puppies, and bears require no food, exercise, or vet trips... just cuddles :)




Her chicken dumpling pincushions were sold to raise money for the Susan G. Komen foundation, and she gave 100% of the sales from them. I don't know about you, but I think that's pretty cool!
"This one is even closer to my heart. 100% of the sale price of this pincushion will go to the Susan G. Komen foundation for breast cancer research. I am donating my time and supplies, so that the whole $20 from this purchase will go toward our goal of $500. I chose the chicken motif, because chickens have breasts, too!"

Recycled wool dolls & animals week - ViolaStudio - part 2


I didn't want her incredibly detailed dolls to take away from these adorable, and artfully simple animals, and visa versa, so yesterday was all about Etsy shop Violastudio's dolls, and today is all about her animals!

A wooly good deal!


Just thought i'd let you all know about a wooly good deal that I just listed. I am trying to clear out some of the more common darker colors (gray, black, navy, etc.), so I am selling darker color mystery lots of 10 sweaters for only $25! I have quantity 3 listed, but can see if I have more if you need more than 30 sweaters. As always my shipping max is $10, so this is a great deal if you need a large quantity of wool. Here's the listing for more details.

Citywide garage sales!

Sorry guys, I have way too much to do today & tomorrow to post, but I will definitely post on Sunday my finds! I wish I could take you all with me to the citywide garage sales, but I don't have a very big car ;)

I'm sneaking in blankets just for today - kimmikcrochet


Ok, I know this is recycled wool covers n' cozies week, but I missed this artist during recycled wool quilt week. Can we just call them people covers or people cozies? I love, love, love, love these blankets! They are stunning, made from recycled sweaters, and the artist hand crochets all the edges... 20 hours for just for the crocheting. Wow. You can check them out yourself in her Artfire shop, or Etsy shop.
On a side note... if you are ever buying from an artist that has an Artfire & Etsy shops, I highly recommend buying from the Artfire shop, so the Artist does not have to pay fees.

Recycled wool covers n' cozies week - New Green Mama


I've been adoring Etsy shop New Green Mama's cozies for quite some time now. Her Klean Kanteen & Sigg cozies are especially fabulous. Not only are they adorable, but wool is naturally insulated, so your drink will stay cold, and your hands will stay warm! She also makes coffee sleeves, gadget pouches, and more recycled wool fun.
